That port joke sure is a dead horse ...

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 24 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

It's a two way sword.

  • On one hand, it sucks that MacBooks only have 2 ports on 13" models and 3 on 15" models (4 for M1)

  • On the other, all of the ports do charging, they're all 40gbps USB4/Thunderbolt3, they all do Displayport and HDMI. All the ports do everything. On most other laptops that just isn't the case.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Honestly 3 ports is enough. And you have the separate MagSafe port too, which means all 3 are typically free. I can’t think of a good reason to have 3 devices regularly hooked up to a Mac laptop. Mouse, keyboard, external hard drive? And mouse/keyboard can be wired to each other and/or wireless?

Are we gaming during our commute now or something though? If you're at home you'll have some sort of port hub.

why would anybody need a mouse + keyboard and a controller at the same time

[–] sness@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Controllers suck at menus.

I have done it. Use controller when in a vehicle and mouse + keyboard outside of it.

But what kind of computer does not have a keyboard connected to it? And wireless mouse/controllers are not much more expensive then wired ones.

Usb hubs aint expensive either. Actually both my keyboard and my monitor come with extra usb hubs build in.

In most first person game I’ll use the controller for movement and general aiming. If there’s a situation where I need precise aiming, such as a sniper rifle or multiple fast shots, I’ll have my controller in my left hand and mouse in my right.

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 6 points 8 hours ago

Controller because it's a much more convenient way of playing, mouse to line up area strike precisely to this one specific pixel that covers all enemies, and keyboard because I only have an hour of play. I'm not spending it on typing character names like Lafayette Liebhart with a stick.

Obviously.

Some Trackmania players switch between keyboards, controllers or steering wheels based on the current track for example. Also, navigating some menues is better with mouse or keyboard, but laptop inbuilt controls should be enough for that.
